Thread Name: Christy Moore - A bit 'precious'?
Subject: Christy Moore - A bit 'precious'?
I heard that Christy Moore objected to the audience singing along at one of his concerts. I will be going to see him soon and wouldn't like to upset him by joining in. Does anyone know if this is really the case? If it is I feel that he is being a bit 'precious'. It has certainly been one of the good features of 'folk' concerts over the many years that I have been in clubs and at concerts, that the audience are encouraged to take part. Recently Tom Paxton stopped singing so that the audience could 'do their bit'. I'm not talking here about drowning out the main man during a quiet melody just an appreciation that the audience does pay his fee.
